Abstract:
Vestibular dysfunction is a disturbance of the body\'s balance system. The control of balance and gait has a particular influence on the quality of life. Currently, assessing patients with these problems is mainly subjective. New assessment options using wearables may provide complementary and more objective information. Posturography makes it possible to determine the extent and type of posture dysfunction, which makes it possible to plan and monitor the effectiveness of physical rehabilitation therapy. This study evaluates the effectiveness of non-instrumental clinical tests and the instrumental mobile posturography MediPost device for patients with unilateral vestibular disorders. The study group included 40 patients. A subjective description of the symptoms was evaluated using a questionnaire about the intensity of dizziness using the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) and Vertigo Syndrome Scale-short form (VSS-sf). The clinical protocol contained clinical tests and MediPost measurements using a Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance. All patients underwent vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) for four weeks. The non-instrumental measurement results were statistically significant, and the best was in the Timed Up and Go test (TUG). In MediPost, condition 4 was the most valuable. This research demonstrated the possibilities of using an instrumental test (MediPost) as an alternative method to assess balance.
摘要:
前庭功能障碍是人体平衡系统的紊乱。平衡和步态的控制对生活质量有特别的影响。目前,评估有这些问题的患者主要是主观的。使用可穿戴设备的新评估选项可能会提供补充和更客观的信息。姿势造影可以确定姿势功能障碍的程度和类型,这使得计划和监测物理康复治疗的有效性成为可能。这项研究评估了非仪器临床测试和仪器移动姿势描记术MediPost设备对单侧前庭疾病患者的有效性。研究组包括40例患者。使用头晕障碍量表(DHI)和眩晕综合症量表简表(VSS-sf),使用有关头晕强度的问卷评估症状的主观描述。临床方案包含临床测试和MediPost测量,使用改良的平衡感觉相互作用临床测试。所有患者均接受前庭康复治疗(VRT)4周。非仪器测量结果有统计学意义,和最好的是在定时和去测试(TUG)。在MediPost中,条件4是最有价值的。这项研究证明了使用仪器测试(MediPost)作为评估平衡的替代方法的可能性。
